MP44 or ‘Machinenpistole 1944’. This was the first ever assault rifle. Using the 7.92 Kutz (short) cartridge. The Stg44 was made from stamped parts making it relatively quick and cheap to make.
This innovative weapon inspired today's assault rifles, for example the Kalashnikov AK47 was based on the MP44.
A nazi marked wartime MP44. Old spec example of this historic weapon. It cocks strips and dry fires. Nazi Wa stamps. The STG 44 or MP 44 was mainly issued to elite frontline Waffen-SS Panzer grenadier Divisions. This example is in excellent condition and comes with its correct magazine and leather sling. Inert rounds are also available.
